I was hoping for the same (very common) combination of Psalms/NT. I have had the NCV Psalms since they were published and now the NT. Great commentary on the psalms which I find very helpful in enriching my praying of the Liturgy of the Hours. When I have time (HA!) I would like to sit down with the NABRE and the NCV and compare some passages and footnotes.

Actually some of the art, especially in the book introduction is new to St. Joseph additions I've seen in the past. But the photos & the study guides are all found in many St. Joseph addition publications...but they don't bother me I can find them helpful.

Timothy - I have an old Confraternity Bible with terrible art in it too, and its great. It is strangely comforting, like ceramic light up christmas trees, or like going to your grandmother's house and seeing 50s kitsch.

Prayer of Thomas Merton

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
